Backstreet Boys singer AJ McLean and his wife of eight months, Rochelle Karidis, broke the happy news on Twitter that their new arrival is going to be a GIRL! They first announced the pregnancy back in April.
“Thank you guys for all of your love and support,” AJ said in a SocialCam video posted on his Twitter page.
Planning to name her Ava Jaymes, AJ confirmed that his daughter will be the first “Backstreet girl.” McLean’s bandmates Brian Littrell, Kevin Richardson and Howie Dorough are all fathers of baby boys.
AJ first proposed to Rochelle in January 2010 during a live concert in Las Vegas. The couple then tied the knot in December 2011 at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Celebrity photographer Tyler Shields officiated the ceremony, which was attended by Kathy Griffin, and all of his Backstreet family including Nick Carter.
Awww congrats to them!
